Abstract

An investigation was conducted to study the effect of different levels of fluchloralin, oxyfluorfen and pendimethalin applied alone and coupled with hand weeding (HW) at 40 days after transplanting (DAT), hand weeding at 40 DAT, HW 40 and 60 DAT, weed free and weedy check on weed management in onion. The investigation revealed that oxyfluorfen applied at 0.25 kg ha−1 alongwith HW at 40 OAT as well as at 0.37 kg ha−1 were the best treatment combinations for effective weed control and maximum onion bulb yield.
